Early Access articles are published articles within a journal that have not yet been assigned to a formal issue. This means they do not yet have a volume number, issue number, or page numbers assigned to them, however, they can still be found and cited using their DOI (Digital Object Identifier). Early Access publication benefits the research community by making new scientific discoveries known as quickly as possible.

Readers can access Early Access articles via the “Early Access” tab for the selected journal.

# Asymptotic ruin probabilities for a renewal risk model with a random number of delayed claims

• *Corresponding author: Jinzhu Li
• In this paper, we consider a non-standard renewal risk model, in which each main claim may produce a random number of delayed claims. Such a model takes full account of lasting impacts of severe claims and hence may avoid the underestimation of an insurer's operation risk within a relatively long period. We obtain asymptotic expansions for the finite-time ruin probability, given that the claim size distributions belong to the general subexponential class. When the claim size distributions are restricted to the smaller class of extended regular variation, we push our study forward to the infinite-time ruin probability.
